The withdrawn HSS STENA DISCOVERY arrived at Belfast
on January 25 after a voyage around Land's End from her home port of
Hoek van Holland. Her final sailing in service had been on January
08, 2007. It had been intended for her to journey round to Belfast
earlier, however, adverse weather conditions led to her departure
being delayed. What the future holds for the this vessel and her two
sisters which remain in service on the Irish Sea remains to be seen.
The presence of the STENA DISCOVERY probably
means it is the first time all three HSS vessels have been in the
same port at the same time. HSS STENA EXPLORER has been refitting in
Belfast (left) and HSS STENA VOYAGER operates her service to
Stranraer. |
